Diano Marino 100 bodies have been
extricated, and on one spot in the |
ruins rs, 900 francs were found. Thir-
ty-six of the wounded who have been |
rescued have been sent TO Genoa;
iorty-fve others remain. A woman
and child have been recovered who
have been buried without food for
three days. Though weak, there Is
every reason TO believe that they will
recover. The smell which rises from

Ever since W, dnesday morning they
